- Hi,
-
- I am slowly restoring a 1936 Chevy Car(Business Sedan model), that my father
- used to drive, before it was parked 28 years ago on a farm in Saskatchewan.
- The car is complete and authentic, with a complete documented history to boot,
- but there are many decisions to be made over how to procede. I was wondering
- if anyone has had any experience with this sort of thing?
-
- I think I would like to make it more of a custom job, with the running gear,
- suspension, steering, etc. from a later model Chevy car, perhaps a 80's Camaro
- Berlinetta(V6) or something. By using the original body/frame and mating the
- new parts to it, the overall look would be better. I could also scavenge all
- of the electrical componentry, like sensors, lighting, heater controls, etc.
- from one source. The perfect combo - killer looks, update handling,
- performance.
-
- Comments, suggestions? If this is the wrong group for this type of discussion,

- Thanks a bunch,
